What's one piece of advice you'd give to underclassmen?
Plan 1-2 years ahead, but live one day at a time. There have been times when I've come across something I'm really interested in, but I didn't think ahead of time and it was too late to apply/get involved. You don't have to have everything figured out, but thinking about what you want to be doing in a year or two is a good way to keep you on track for your goals. At the same time, college is stressful and the best way I keep from getting overwhelmed is by focusing on the day to day.

Step into my circle if...
You like to cook and invent new recipes!

Three things you cannot live without..
Good food, stationery, and British TV

If a movie were made on the story of your life, what would the title be?
